Facebook members help me please. I've entered in a Filipa K & ELLE competition and my entry is in the running to win a serious voucher for a Filipa K wardrobe. And I can use all the votes and help I can get.

Please vote for my entry (picture number 84 in the album) using this link to Facebook. You can vote until the 5th of November!

We're coming closer to the 31st of Octorber, Haloween! This is an example of a nice decorated pumpkin from Bolig Magasinet. Combined with orange theelight holders and some maple leaves it gives a nice autumn feel.

This boysroom is a sleepover magnet! With three matrasses and a hammock there is enough room for everyone. Bunkbeds are always children's favourites. By adding storagespace to the left over side you make the most of the space. I'm sure I'm doing someone a favour with these images...

The Danish brand RICE is a star when it comes to combining colours, fabrics and patterns. Like with this quilt. It is a mix and match of vibrant colours. That combined with the pillows and curtains results in a cheerfull total picture. It will take a little while longer but these lovely quilts will be available online from half of November. It will be a warm winter after all!

Wat is het toch heerlijk als een huis hier en daar wat lieve details heeft. Tuurlijk is het niet nodig om zo'n zwart hart over je badjas en waszak te hangen. Waarschijnlijk is het niet eens praktisch. Maar het is zeker, ja zeer zeker decoratief! De afbeelding is gemaakt door Trine Horsen.I just love sweet little details in an interior. Of course there is no need to put such a black heart over your robe and laundrybad. It is probably not even practical. But it is, I'm so very sure, so very decorative! This image was made by Trine Horsen.

These flowers are photographed by Janne Peters. They are like a still on an autumn day. The colours are deep and dark but the overall picture remains light and fresh. By combining the dark with some vibrant colours you get accents in just the right places. These images are inspiring not just by the colours but also by the choise of flowers and the way they were done.

Lille Lykke welcomes a new brand into the collection: the Danish OLIVER FURNITURE. We've already placed a preview online and will add more and more in the following days. Oliver Furniture has been selected because of it's clean and simple design that combine in just about any interior.

Soms kom ik in een van de Deense bladen een foto tegen en dan denk ik 'hee, maar dat lijkt op ... uit mijn collectie.' Zo ook met deze foto uit de nieuwe BoligLiv. Het wandkastje is op een onverwachte maar erg leuke lage hoogte geplaatst. De tweede foto is van de stand van House Doctor op de beurs in Denemarken. Ook zo'n grappig leuk wandkastje. En zoals je ziet niet alleen leuk voor in de keuken, ook op een lager niveau zijn deze kastjes zeer decoratief.Sometimes a photo reminds me of something in our collection. The same happened when I saw this image from the new BoligLiv issue. The wallcabinet is hung on an unexpected but very decorative hight. The second image comes from the House Doctor stand at the Danish fair. A more modern version of this wallcabinet. As you see, not only suitable to put up high in the kitchen. Also nice at a lower level.

Today I take a moment to promote my new brand in the shop: Cathrine Kullberg Lighting. A very refined birch veneer lamp with a pattern of a deep pineforest with wildlife. 100% producted in Norway. For instance the birch veneer is carefully laser cut by an airplane model builder. A very precise task if you ask me. Let the light shine through and you will see a beautiful display.

Skona Hem shows this diningroom with quite a special feature: a beautiful HUGE antique clock. It adds a great amount of grandure to the room. Often it is better to just place one eyecatcher instead of many seperate ones. A decoration skill I'm yet to bring into practice myself....Impressed by the chandelier. We have candlestands in similar material and look.

Sometimes you come across something that makes you think: So easy yet so amazing! That's wat came to my mind when I saw this upgate of some pretty shady lamps. Find your best find on e-bay or maybe just get it from the livingroom. Add some paint and you transform the lamp into the little missing colour accent in your interior.

BoligLiv has a beautiful feature on a home with a very consistent use of the colour RED. The home owner has combined the red with accents of warm wood and warm shades of grey. Personally I admire the owner for being so consistent and creating a lovely home.

Surround yourself with autumn and place a large branch (half a tree?!) in your home. Preferable one that is dry so that you don't get nasty stains on your wall. As I'm looking forward to Christmas I can already imagine decorating the branches with nice pendants. No room for half a tree in your livingroom? Get creative and use one of the wallstickers of Ferm LIVING.

I love Hus & Hem when it comes to images. They have so many of them online. For instance this living room. It shows you don't have to run out the get new furniture when you are looking for a change of atmosphere. Just adapt the decoration in your room to your mood.

This month my sister (who is my big support) will give birth to her first child. A boy or a girl... time will tell. Either way he or she is more than welcome.

Junior will sleep in a beautiful cradle from the Danish brand Oliver Furniture. This month we will add a selection of their furniture to our collection.

This babydoll is resting in a lovely retro bed. Goes to show that you must always keep those left over pieces of wallpaper. Always useful when you feel the urge to do something creative. And if you don't have any wallpaper no problem. We also have nice sheets of paper from Rie Elise Larsen. Great prints and strong enough to use for decorating a doll bed.

Rie Elise Larsen is a Danish designer. She is ever so creative and makes the most lovely things. She designs prints for wrapping paper and also uses this for little pieces of art to decorate your home with. You can hang them between the flowers, on branches, in a lamp or a candlestand.

Next to the most colourful giftwrapping paper she also has bright coloured and shiny ribbons. Just the right item to give a present the finishing touches.

This month a feature on bringing nature into your livingroom can be found in the Danish Bolig Magasinet. The beautiful spread in the magazine (top) is made by Lisa Grue. Many of the designers from the brands we work with also get their inspiration from nature. For instance Ferm LIVING looks at nature for their graphic designs, Tine K Home is inspired by nature in her choice of colours and our new brand By Nord even has pictures of nature on their product.

Inspired by the illustrations made by Lisa we have combined the favourites from our shop in a collage.

In the October Home Month we would like to start by introducing a new brand: By Nord. A young Danish company with beautiful textile products as thins photoprint bedding. Made from 100% Ökotex certified cotton and with prints inspired by nature.

At By Nord they believe in sustainable design. Beauty and design go hand in hand with the usage of organic materials and accountability in production. The result from this way of thinking is a unique collection of design products with a high quality and a resprect for the nature that surrounds us.
